Andy had become acquainted with Ilona at a photo shoot early in the summer of 1987. Andy Hug and Ilona Hug were married in 1993. In 1994, her longed-for wish was also fulfilled: Ilona gave birth to their son Seya. Dear Fans, I think that you will be shocked when you hear in what state of health I am. When the doctor told me about it, it was an enormous shock even for myself. But I want to inform you about my state of health so that I can fight together with you against this illness. This illness is the most severe opponent of all my fights. But I will win. As if I would stand in the ring I will get power from your cheers and beat this strong opponent. Unfortunately I will not be able to fight at the tournament in October. I will fight against this illness in Japan and one day I will appear again with you. Don't lose hope!
